    They’re so enamored with the space age “in five years robots will do everything for us!” conceit that they’re willing to retrofit a technology very much not meant for such a purpose, regardless of consequence. Like taking that drug that gives you hyperthermia for weight loss

      regardless of consequence

      At least before there was some logic - stupid logic yes but logic nonetheless when people started to entirely give up privacy for convenience online at Facebook, Instagram, etc. I don’t care about privacy - I want to easily-as-possible share intimate details of my life with my friends!

      But now it beggars belief. Reddit will eventually have a very popular sub called r/AIfuckedme or something. And posts will be like “AI fucked me and charged me $1,000 for tickets to a show by a band called Art House Roses. And the band doesn’t even exist! Plus ScrewUai refused me a refund!”

      Gee - you don’t say. Who couldda seen that coming?
